Lmao. That sounds like a very hard problem to solve in any case..

Alright, enough porn talk. I really like the UI. Please allow me to ask whether you plan on monetizing this, and if so, how?

Hah. We're not too concerned about monetizing it right now, but our initial thought is to show tasteful ads based on the user's query.

Sounds like a plan, but I'd appreciate if you could consider optional subscription plans in return for no tracking and no advertisement scumbag companies collecting my data. I'd gladly pay a few bucks for this and I know other people would too, Kagi is a good example.

We don't plan on sharing any info. Our ads would be more inline with DDG's, and based only on the user query.

I fully believe you have only the best intentions, but unfortunately advertisement companies don't. Simply allowing them to put ads there directly leads to your users being tracked, even across websites. DDG does not have a clean slate either, Microsoft is actively tracking through ads.
